The Eternal Search to Find One's Self: Flash Fiction and Beyond

2017- Reading for the First Quarter

For this year, I have decided to read all The New York Times Best Sellers. I browse any of the books that can break the TOP TEN and visit my local library and reign havoc waiting in line to get my grubby hands on them.

So far, this is what I have been able to capture.

NOTE: I would recommend each of these books. If a book does not capture me in the first 15 pages to two chapters, I turn the books back in to the library for the next eager reader.
